All activities of man are interrelated. You cannot study English, or physiology, or yachting, or business without learning something about other matters. Some activities are fairly self contained. One doesn't need a wide range of learning to play golf or tennis. True, one might make a very deep study of the mathematical science of ballistics an adjunct to the study of the science of golf, but the study would be of relatively small practical advantage.
On the other hand, in some activities a fairly wide range of knowledge is directly helpful. Yachting, for example, will easily lead one into a study of navigation with all its complexities and into a study of winds and tides and geography and engineering and a host of other interesting subjects. The more one knows of some of these subjects and the more subjects he knows at least something about, the better yachtsman he will be. If we were writing a book on the science of yachting, we should have to deal more or less, depending upon the detail with which we were treating our subject, with some of these surrounding sciences.
There is hardly any branch of human knowledge that does not have a potent effect somewhere in business dealings. But there are certain branches of knowledge which have direct and almost universal application in business matters. These branches we may call the environment of business. The well-informed business man will have to know something about them.
We can merely indicate in a general way that the science of business, as we conceive it, does include these outlying sciences. Just as the physician and the lawyer must have a broad training, the business man must needs lay the roots of his special training in business science and practice in an understanding of mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics, law, history, philology and the other departments of human knowledge.
